I just downloaded the Kirupa source file for the News Ticker under the Flash 2004 area ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/newsticker.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/newsticker.htm)) and wondered how I can change the size of the dynamic text box to allow a longer message to be displayed. When I scale my box or the news MC the same number of characters are displayed but the font is stretched instead of allowing more characters to be displayed?

Can anybody help?
